Hollywood A-lister's classic Aston Martin on sale for £120k – but who was its famous owner?
A HOLLYWOOD A-lister is selling his classic Aston Martin for £120,000. Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom's eye-catching 1971 DBS V8 was the fastest production four-seater car in the world when first made. 5 5 5 The star nabbed the vehicle from an unnamed British musician and made frequent use of its blistering 320 brake horsepower. The motor can clock as high as 150mph and go from zero to 62 mph in seven seconds. Bloom is best known for his roles as Legolas The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Will Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. It will go under the hammer at RM Sotheby's at Cliveden House on 8 July. The listing reads: "First revealed in September 1969, the DBS V8 can trace its roots directly to the fabled DB model lineage that defined Aston Martin until the DB6 was phased out in 1970. "Company bosses viewed the DBS as a direct replacement for the DB6, while production overlapped after the former was launched in 1967. "Like the DB6, the earliest examples of the DBS were powered by a 4.0-litre inline-six engine, until the offering was revamped to make way for the DBS V8, the engine that Aston Martin had always intended for the model. "The example offered here is recorded to have been delivered to its first owner on 20 January 1971, having been first registered with the DVLA one week prior. "The DBS V8 was configured in Platinum over a Black Connolly leather interior complemented by Black carpets and Grey headlining. "It was specified with an automatic transmission, MPH speedometer by Smiths, and shod with Pirelli Radial tyres.

"While its subsequent earlier history is not documented, it was subsequently acquired by a notable British musician, who instructed that the car was repainted in its original colours by Bedworth Classic Cars in 2012. "From then, the Aston Martin entered the care of its consigning owner, Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom, from whom the DBS V8 is offered directly. "The sleek 1970s coupé retains its matching-numbers V-8 engine, as verified by a copy of the factory build sheet. "In June 2025 the car was serviced and gained new spark plugs. "As the fastest production four-seater car in the world at the time of its launch, the DBS V8 occupies a special place in Aston Martin's history. "This example more than lives up to the legend, and is all-the-more appealing when offered from the private collection of a legend of modern cinema." 5 5

Trump signs order confirming parts of UK-US tariff deal
US President Donald Trump has signed documents to reduce tariffs on UK cars, which will bring into force parts of a tariff pact agreed between the two countries last month. Speaking at the G7 summit in Canada, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer called the move a "very important day" for both countries. The pact was the first that the White House has announced since it imposed tariffs on various goods entering America from around the world earlier this year. But a 10% levy remains in place on most goods from the UK.

US-UK trade deal has been signed and is 'done', US president Donald Trump says
British prime minister Keir Starmer and US president Donald Trump have announced a new UK-US trade deal is "done" as the two leaders met at the G7 summit. The US-UK trade deal has been signed and is "done", Trump has said. Trump told reporters in Canada 'We signed it, and it's done', as he confirmed the UK-US trade deal had been signed. Trump appeared to mistakenly say he had signed a 'trade agreement with the European Union' as he stood alongside Starmer. He added: 'It's a fair deal for both. It'll produce a lot of jobs, a lot of income.' Starmer replied: 'Donald, thank you very much. This now implements on car tariffs and aerospace. A really important agreement. And so this is a very good day for both of our countries, a real sign of strength.'
